About the Application notes 1.1.1 General purpose This document includes application notes about M-Logic for DEIF's AGC-4 Mk II, software version 6.03. 1.1.2 Intended users The application notes are mainly aimed at the person responsible for designing AGC systems, typically a panel builder designer, but other users might also find useful information.
Legal information and disclaimer DEIF takes no responsibility for installation or operation of the generator set. If there is any doubt about how to install or operate the engine/generator controlled by the AGC, the company responsible for installation or operation of the set must be contacted.
The M-Logic can carry out binary control functions only; there are no possibilities for analogue reading and/or control functions. The M-Logic can be programmed from the free PC tool, DEIF Utility Software (USW version 3). The USW can be downloaded from DEIFs web page: www.deif.com/software...
3. Configuration Starting 3.1.1 Starting the M-Logic Open the Utility Software and select the M-Logic & AOP button in the left menu. Click the Read icon to load the M-Logic from the controller. The following screen appears: 3.1.2 Read/write When the M-Logic screen is shown, the M-Logic toolbar appears at the top of the screen. The toolbar has two buttons which are used to write and read the M-Logic configuration to and from the controller: Press this button to read all M-Logic settings from the controller to the USW.
3.1.3 Save/open Press this button to save the M-Logic configuration to a file (part of the general configuration file “.USW”). Press this button to open a previously saved M-Logic file. Basic functions 3.2.1 Basic functions The M-Logic consists of a number of lines, Logic 1, Logic 2 and so on. Each of these lines have: •...
3.2.2 Event settings Events A, B and C are used to trigger the logic. For each event, the function NOT can be selected to get an inverted function. The event groups in the Events window depend on the controller type and its options. Each event group contains a number of events.
3.2.5 Output settings The output defines the reaction from the system, when the function is activated. A delay time can be set for a function (no delay, if set to 0 s). The groups in the Output window depend on the controller type and its options. Each group contains a number of outputs.
• The Logic 1 output is set to Virtual Event 1. • The Event A in Logic 2 is Virtual Event 1. This gives a total of five events that can be used in this logic sequence (A + B + C in Logic 1 and B + C in Logic 2). 3.4.2 Set/reset function If you use a single digital input to select AUTO/MANUAL, you need a SET/RESET function, since two digital inputs are normally...
Click on the Write button to save the AOP settings. In the top menu, click on the AOP 1 button to open the virtual AOP display. AOP LED colour priority If an AOP LED has more than one output for selection of colour, the presented colour will follow this priority: Priority Colour Red flashing...
The result is that the relay changes position every time the AOP button is activated. 3.4.5 Power up in a specific mode In this example, the controller will always power up in manual mode. The timer in Logic 1 sets the output for 5 s, and this is used to set manual mode in event 2.
Page 15
The example shows how flip flop set 1 could be configured to set relay 8: • Logic 1: Flip flop output 1 is selected to set the relay output. • Logic 2: Digital input 23 is used to trigger flip flop set 1 and thus sets the relay output active. •...
